Safe

Same as pros/cons; I like that it is safe, sturdy and has great trunk space/large backseat. I dislike that it has a terrible turning radius (it's almost impossible to make a u-turn in urban areas where streets are more narrow).

Defect: If the seat belt buckle separates from the bracket, the front seat passenger may not be adequately restrained in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Corrective Action: Volvo will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the front passenger seat belt buckle stud, replacing the seat belt buckle as needed, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin December 12, 2016. Owners may contact Volvo customer service at 1-800-458-1552. Volvo's number for this recall is R89708.
